Green Tissue production, touched by Meva
At Meva Energy, we’ve developed a technology that can effectively reduce CO2 emissions in tissue and paper production processes without compromising cost efficiency or operational performance.
WE PRODUCE BIOGAS SUITABLE FOR DIRECT PROCESS USE IN INDUSTRY
Meva Energy produces renewable biogas designed specifically for demanding industrial processes, such as tissue paper drying. Our technology offers a stable and consistent gas composition, ensuring the precise, high-temperature heat needed to maintain paper quality throughout the drying process. With minimal variations in gas flow and pressure, our biogas seamlessly integrates into your production line, offering a reliable, renewable alternative to traditional fuels.
ADDITIONAL VALUE WITH BIOCHAR
As a result of pure biomass gasification, high quality biochar is generated as a sidestream. Biochar can be utilized as a carbon sink, providing an opportunity to significantly reduce your carbon footprint. According to our latest LCA study, utilizing biochar can result in negative emissions, making your operations carbon-negative. Additionally, the biochar holds market value and can be sold as a product for various applications, turning an environmental benefit into a new revenue stream.

Carbon sequestration
Meva Energy provides a gasification technology that can play an important role in the manufacturing industry’s shift towards renewable energy production. This technology utilizes locally generated biogenic waste streams from the manufacturing industry, converting low-quality biomass into high-quality biogas. By adopting this approach, the industry can mitigate climate change and significantly reduce fossil greenhouse gas emissions and customer’s carbon footprint. By the combined biogas and biochar production, the technology has the potential to go beyond zero and reach negative emissions.

what is biomass gasification?
Biomass gasification is a well-known thermochemical process for conversion of biomass into a biogas, consisting of mainly CO, H2, CO2, CH4 and N2. The resulting biogas can be used as a clean and efficient energy source, providing a sustainable alternative to traditional fossil fuels.
Utilizing local residues for renewable, cost-effective gas
Meva Energy’s technology converts low-value biomass residues such as sawdust or wood chips, into high-quality, renewable biogas directly at your production site. This localized, circular energy system reduces your dependence on external fuel sources, lowers transportation emissions, and offers a long-term energy solution.
